Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/033,676 filed Mar. 4, 2008, which is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth.
FIELD OF INVENTION
This application is related to wireless communications.
BACKGROUND
In a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless communication system, when a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) performs handover to a target cell, the WTRU uses a dedicated preamble to access a network. A preamble is a signal sent from the WTRU to an evolved Node-B (eNB) to detect timing misalignment in the uplink (UL) during a handover procedure. Accordingly, the target cell needs to reserve a dedicated preamble for the WTRU. However, a non-contention based random access channel (RACH), used by the eNB to provide configuration information of the dedicated preamble, will become overloaded when a large number of WTRUs handover to the same target cell in a short amount of time. Because of this overloading of the RACH, there is a need for a more efficient mechanism by which the dedicated preamble is used during handover.
SUMMARY
The method and apparatus disclosed herein allows for an efficient usage of a dedicated preamble to access a RACH in evolved universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) during handover. The WTRU may use a dedicated preamble in pre-reserved (or preconfigured) frames, but not in every frame. Alternatively, the WTRU may use contention-based preambles in other random access opportunities when a dedicated preamble is not reserved, or a RACH access attempt does not succeed using the dedicated preamble.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
A more detailed understanding may be had from the following description, given by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 shows an example of a plurality of WTRUs sharing one dedicated preamble during different reserved dedicated preamble periods;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a wireless communication system including a WTRU and an eNB; and
FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a procedure for using a dedicated or contention-based preamble during handover using the system of FIG. 2
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
When referred to hereafter, the terminology “wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU)” includes but is not limited to a user equipment (UE), a mobile station, a fixed or mobile subscriber unit, a pager, a cellular telephone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a computer, or any other type of user device capable of operating in a wireless environment. When referred to hereafter, the terminology “base station” includes but is not limited to an evolved Node-B (eNB), a site controller, an access point (AP), or any other type of interfacing device capable of operating in a wireless environment.
The method and apparatus disclosed herein allows for an efficient usage of a dedicated preamble for handover performed by WTRUs in E-UTRA. The WTRU may use a dedicated preamble in pre-reserved (or preconfigured) frames, but not in every frame. Alternatively, the WTRU may use contention-based preambles in other random access opportunities when a dedicated preamble is not reserved.
Rather than reserving a dedicated preamble for a handover WTRU in every random access opportunity, (e.g., every 10 ms), the eNB will reserve a dedicated preamble N out of M random access opportunities, where the parameter M is defined as the period of a reserved dedicated preamble. A random access opportunity is a time period when a RACH may be accessed. In such an instance, the preferred value of N is one.
As is shown in FIG. 1, such a value facilitates the eNB to interleave several WTRUs sharing one dedicated preamble over the time domain. WTRU 1 only uses the dedicated preamble in a first random access opportunity out of every 4 random access opportunities. WTRU 2 only uses the dedicated preamble in a second random access opportunity out of every 4 random access opportunities. WTRU 3 only uses the dedicated preamble in a third random access opportunity out of every 8 random access opportunities. Thus, a dedicated preamble is efficiently shared by 3 WTRUs in the time domain.
The network will monitor and decide the value of parameters N and M based on the load on a non-contention RACH. Although different M values may be configured, a larger period must be an integer multiple of a smaller preamble period. In this way, WTRUs with different dedicated preamble configurations may share the same preamble without collision in the time domain. An example of a preferred set of a different reserved dedicated preamble periods is M=1, 2, 4 and 8.
FIG. 2 shows a wireless communication system 200 including a WTRU 205 and an eNB 210. The eNB 210 reserves a dedicated preamble for a WTRU N out of M random access opportunities for a duration up to a maximum allowed handover interruption time. The eNB 210 may transmit reserved dedicated preamble configuration information 215 to the WTRU 205 via a handover command, when a handover decision is made, or via a special medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU). The WTRU 205 includes a transmitter 225, a receiver 230 which receives preambles from the WTRU 205, a processor 235 and a maximum handover interruption timer 240. The eNB 110 includes a transmitter 245, which is configured to transmit the reserved dedicated preamble configuration information 215, a receiver 250 which receives the preambles from the WTRU 205 and a processor 255. The processor 255 includes a preamble resource manager 260, which is used to allocate preambles to the WTRU 205.
The WTRU 205 transmits either a dedicated or contention-based preamble 220 to the eNB 210 such that the WTRU 205 can access a RACH to complete a handover procedure. If a RACH access attempt implemented by the WTRU 205 fails when using a dedicated preamble, the WTRU 205 will then use a contention-based preamble in subsequent random access opportunities until either its RACH access attempt succeeds or a random access opportunity occurs in which there is a reserved dedicated preamble.
Still referring to FIG. 2, the WTRU 200 is configured to access a RACH during handover. The processor 235 is configured to initiate handover and activate the maximum handover interruption timer 240. The transmitter is configured to transmit a dedicated preamble in an attempt to access the RACH on a condition that the dedicated preamble is reserved in a current random access opportunity and the maximum handover interruption timer has not expired, and transmit a contention-based preamble in an attempt to access the RACH on a condition that a dedicated preamble is not reserved in a current random access opportunity.
The transmitter 225 in the WTRU 200 is also configured to transmit a contention-based preamble in an attempt to access the RACH on a condition that the maximum handover interruption timer has expired. The transmitter 225 is also configured to transmit, on a condition that a failure to access a RACH has failed, a contention-based preamble in subsequent random access opportunities until a successful RACH access attempt occurs, or a random access opportunity occurs in which there is a reserved dedicated preamble.
A non-contention based procedure is used on a condition that the dedicated preamble is reserved in a current random access opportunity and the maximum handover interruption timer has not expired.
A contention-based random access procedure is used on a condition that the dedicated preamble is not reserved in a current random access opportunity and the maximum handover interruption timer has expired.
FIG. 3 is a flow diagram of a procedure 300 that uses a reserved dedicated preamble or a contention-based random access preamble during handover. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the processor 235 in the WTRU 205 initiates a handover to a target cell and activates the maximum handover interruption timer 240 in the WTRU 205 (305). When a random access opportunity occurs (310), a determination is made by the processor 235 as to whether the maximum handover interruption timer 240 has expired (315). If the maximum handover interruption timer 240 has not yet expired before a random access opportunity occurs, the processor 235 determines whether there is a dedicated preamble reserved in the current random access opportunity (step 320).
If there is a reserved dedicated preamble in the current random access opportunity, the WTRU uses a dedicated preamble in random access, and a non-contention based random access procedure is used between the WTRU 205 and the eNB 210 to make a RACH access attempt (step 325). A non-contention based random access procedure is two-step random access procedure that does not involve transmission of RACH message 3 in the uplink and contention resolution in the downlink, (as compared to a contention-based one).
If a reserved dedicated preamble does not exist in the current random access opportunity, the WTRU uses a contention-based preamble in random access, and a contention based random access procedure is used between the WTRU 205 and the eNB 210 to make a RACH access attempt (step 330). A contention based random access procedure is a four-step random access procedure that involves transmission of RACH message 3 in the uplink and contention resolution in the downlink. The contention-based preamble may be randomly selected from a set of contention-based preambles.
In step 335, a determination is made as to whether the RACH access attempt succeeded. If a WTRU fails its RACH access attempt using a reserved dedicated preamble, it will use a contention-based preamble in subsequent random access opportunities until either its RACH access attempt succeeds, or a random access opportunity occurs in which there is a reserved dedicated preamble.
Due to the high success probability of RACH access using a dedicated preamble, the approach to try a RACH access attempt with alternating non-contention based and contention based RACH access attempts is preamble resource efficient.
